Activity 1 - Assessment Objective 1 - Planning your website  

You need to produce a design for a multimedia website of at least five pages for Phones Your Way. Your  design must meet the specification given in the scenario.  The design will act as the blueprint (plan)  for the website you are going to produce for them.   

The designs you produce will be implemented in Activities 2, 3, 4 and 5. 

Use the activities below to produce evidence for your assignment. 

a  Identify the purpose and target audience of the website.   

You can use this project proposal template to help

b  Read the entire assignment and then produce a site plan for the website.  The website must consist of at least five web pages.  Your site plan should: 

•  be on one page 

•  show an overview for all pages 

•  show an overview of the navigation system (see web site plan download on the left). 

(This could be done graphically by hand or by using word-processing, DTP or specialist  software). This example shows how to layout the page.  You could do some further research on website structures by looking at the web style guide web site

c  Produce a house style for the website: 

• colour scheme 

•  position of components (text, images (e.g. logo, multimedia objects, other components, etc) 

•  position of navigation system (showing links) 

To achieve the higher grades, the house style must be detailed, clearly showing more than  one way to link the pages.  Here is an example.

(This could be done graphically by hand, using word-processing or DTP software or using  graphics software to simulate what it will look like).  

d  Produce page plans for each of the pages: 

•  layout of different components 

•  description of the chosen navigation system (buttons, textual hyperlinks, hotspots, etc) 

To achieve the higher grades, the page plans must be accurate and sufficiently detailed to  allow another person to implement the plans.     (This could be done graphically using word-processing or DTP software, by hand or using  graphics software to simulate what it will look like). You can use this template to help.  

e  You could now collect and store suitable components, including any created yourself eg:  

• images 

• text 

• animations 

• interactive elements 

• video 

• sound. 

(A screenshot showing that you have collected and stored suitable components could be  used to show you have done this)
